“This was our first time using Rover and the first time that our pup has been away from us. Megan and Brandon were great. They communicated clearly and regularly during to process leading up to our leaving our dog with them. They both made us feel very comfortable at drop-off and provided updates and even a video to give us peace of mind that our Clark was well taken care of. When we picked Clark up it was clear that he had a good time and was treated well. All interactions were smooth and stress-free. We would not hesitate to have Clark stay with Brandon and Megan again.”
“Kyle did a great job taking care of our dog. Archer has some special needs and Kyle was great at accommodating. He also gave me timely updates while I was away as to how Archer was doing settling in on his first time there. We already have him booked for our next trip and feel confident it will also be a good experience.”
“Renee and James were great! They were very responsive, sent updates on the dogs and clearly loved on the dogs all weekend! We would definitely use them again!”
“Tanya went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule with hers and communicated very well. We knew right away that our pup was in good hands after meeting her and Yuzu was well cared for and active her entire stay! The pics and regular updates were greatly appreciated as well. We will definitely use Tanya again!”
“My dog seems to enjoy staying with Thomas and Sue and she doesn't like being away from me so that is comforting. They have a nice mellow dog that she gets along well with so I think it is fun for her since she doesn't get opportunity to play with other dogs often. They give her lots of attention and care for her well.”
“Our large, high energy pup stayed w/ David (& his family) for a week over the holidays. David took him on walks, let him play w/ his dogs and was great at sharing pics & giving updates. Having a fenced in yard was definitely a plus too! Overall, a great experience!”
“Maria was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my pup, Baylee, and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the start that she’s attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Maria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Susan & Craig are the best! I love the communication and daily pictures of Dakota. I felt relax knowing Dakota was in a great care. I would definitely rebook if Susan & Craig are available for any future trips!”
“Wesley was fantastic with our dog while for four nights of boarding. He was exceptionally good at communicating, sending updaters with photos, and making us feel at ease even though we hadn’t worked with Wesley before. It was so lovely to pick our pup up from Wesley where he was smiling and clearly well cared for! We will definitely ask Wesley to help again in the future.”
“Shreya and her family took great care of our dog! He is high energy and anxious and we were grateful for the patience and care they provided! We would forsure have our dog there again and recommend her to anyone!”
“We have left our dog with Alisha & Cameron on several occasions now. Rue absolutely adores going to their house and always comes home tuckered out, happy, and healthy! They are very attentive, experienced, and regularly send us pup updates during our trips. We cannot recommend them enough and will continue using their services for future travels!”
“Our senior dog had a repeat longer stay with Dave and he came back happy, healthy, and calm. It was clear he was well taken care of there! Will rebook when needed.”
“We had a fantastic experience using Sophan to care for our older dog. Daily updates were sent to us and it appeared as though our pup was well taken care of! Good communication from Sophan and the accommodations worked well for our dog!”
“Jordon and Melisa are wonderful, and their kids are very sweet with our pup! First time finding sitters for our “new to us” golden and I knew she would have such a great time with this family. I think she’s bored at home now! Jordon and Melisa sent photos and updated multiple times and I know our sweet girl was in great hands.”
“We feel extremely comfortable leaving Chester with Trudy. She goes out of her way to make him feel at home and happy in his temporary lodgings. She keeps us up-to-date on everything he’s up to. She really has an extra kind and caring heart for the pooches in her care, you can just tell. Thank you, Trudy.”
“We found Melinda in the last moment, as our previous sitter was hospitalized a few days before our trip. Melinda was amazing. She took such a great care of our senior dog. Bentley usually has separation anxiety, but with Melinda he quickly got comfortable and had a great time. The weather was extremely cold, and yet Melinda took him out a few times a day. She was sending us detailed updates and pictures every day. Communication with her was excellent. We really appreciate the wonderful care Melinda gave Bentley for the whole week. We would strongly recommend her and for sure will rebook her for Bentley.”
“Yuliya took such fantastic care of Reese! She regularly sent pictures and updates, which made it so easy for us to relax while we were away. It was clear Reese was happy, comfortable, and having a great time the entire stay. From the photos and updates, we could tell Reese truly had a blast there. Knowing she was being cared for so thoughtfully gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful for Yuliya and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

Kristi was such a provision for our family to be able to travel together—and we knew our furry family members were in good care. She sent updates on a regular basis both via pictures and words. Kristi got to know each of our dogs quickly, read their individual personalities well, and tailored her care for them to meet their likes and needs. Thank you, Kristi, for allowing our dogs to make their home with you while we were away. You are the best!!!
Repeat customer! Had The Littles stay with Meghann again for over a week and again so incredibly happy and grateful!! She and her kids clearly love them and give lots of affection and attention. They were in great spirits when I picked them up and didn't give me any stink-eye from being upset that I "abandoned" them lol My pups are always in great hands with Meghann and her kids!
We loved Lindsay! She was so great with Moose, and we really appreciated the pictures she sent while we were away. We loved how she let him just make himself at home with her, took him on plenty of walks, and even let him keep a toy he fell in love with during his stay! We will definitely have Moose visit Lindsay more often!

There are 1,773 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elk River. About 91% of Elk River sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
